by Alexandre Fayolle Oct. 9, 2003

Oct. 9, 2003

Logilab has released xmldiff-0.6.4 What's new? ----------- This release fixes a bug which broke directory processing in recursive mode. A --help command line option was added to xlmrev, and the documentation was rewritten in restructured text. About xmldiff ------------- Xmldiff is a Python tool that figures out the differences between two similar XML files, in the same way the diff utility does for text files. The output can use a home brewn format, or XUpdate. Xmldiff can also be used as a python module, and use already parsed DOM trees for input. It requires pyxml[1] to be installed. Xmldiff is released under the GPL.

GPIB-USB 82357A interface (agilent) module for python. With this module, you can drive on windows environment the GPIB bus via the USB port. HP54111D.py contains the HP oscilloscope 54111D object class. GPIB.py contains the GPIB object class (with 82357A interface). PyOscilloscope.py will be ready in a few week, and via USB you will can acquire the data scope (see wxpyplot.py) , print the signals and save in bitmap format.

ANN: VideoCapture 0.8 released
by Markus Gritsch Oct. 8, 2003

Oct. 8, 2003

VideoCapture-0.8 ================ URL: ---- http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/ What it is: ----------- VideoCapture is a Python extension for Win32 which makes it possible to access video-capture devices (e.g. a USB webcam, a TV-card, ...). What is new in version 0.8: --------------------------- *) Added module documentation. *) Moved project to SourceForge.net. *) Included a precompiled binary of the low level module linked against Python 2.3. *) Incorporated stand-alone webservers from Don Garrett and Don Kimber (Tools\3rdParty). The pushserver from Don Kimber is quite interesting. Now I can watch TV in a Mozilla window with 25 fps *) Added setResolution() method contributed by Don Kimber. (Probably works only on devices which have the resolution specified in the CapturePinProperties.) *) Don Kimber fixed a small but serious inconsistency in displayCapturePinProperties() with sometimes resulted in a seg-fault. Enjoy, Markus

Python Database Objects (PDO) 1.0.2 Released
by Bryan J Gudorf Oct. 8, 2003

Oct. 8, 2003

We at NeuroKode Labs, LLC, are proud to announce the release of Python Database Objects (PDO) 1.0.2. The current release adds kinterbasedb, (firebird, interbase) support. As released previously: Python Database Objects (PDO) provides an easy to use Object Oriented API for database developers. PDO utilizes DB-API modules for database access, but allows for a Common Object Oriented API across RDBMS. Thus, PDO can be thought of as a 'wrapper' around the DB-API and database specific modules. PDO offers a unique interface which includes such features as column access by name, forward and backward movement through a result set and much, much more. Downloads for Python Database Objects are available on SourceForge.Net or for more information please visit pdo.neurokode.com. ~Bryan J Gudorf NeuroKode Labs, LLC

mock object package
by Joel Quinet Oct. 7, 2003

Oct. 7, 2003

http://users.skynet.be/fa254522/mock-0.0.0.1.zip mock is a Python module to write mock object. This package is based on the concept of the mock object package for Java. The current version has no specific documentation, there is only doc string in the code itself, and also the unittest module which provide doc and sample. This is the first public release. Normally, there is not requirement for Python version all should works, but I have only tested with 2.3 and above. The plan for the next versions are the implementation of mock object module for module provided as standard library like ConfigParser, etc... And also a mockobject generator from a source code file. for more information on mockobject, have a look at http://www.mockobjects.com

ANN: spidermonkey 0.0.1a released
by jjl＠pobox.com Oct. 6, 2003

Oct. 6, 2003

[reposting, since it didn't turn up on c.l.py.announce the first time] http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/spidermonkey/ This is the first release. There are known bugs, and interfaces may change. Requires Python 2.3 and spidermonkey 1.5. Currently, Pyrex is required to build it. It should work on any platform where spidermonkey runs. I've only tested on Linux, though. spidermonkey is a Python/JavaScript bridge module, making use of Mozilla's spidermonkey JavaScript implementation. Allows implementation of JavaScript classes, objects and functions in Python, and evaluation and calling of JavaScript scripts and functions respectively. Borrows heavily from Claes Jacobssen's Javascript Perl module, in turn based on Mozilla's 'PerlConnect' Perl binding. See also: PyXPCOM. Example of a few of the features: from spidermonkey import Runtime rt = Runtime() cx = rt.new_context() class foo: def hello(self): print "Hello, JavaScript world!" cx.bind_class(foo, bind_constructor=True) f = cx.eval_script("""var f = new foo(); f.hello(); f; // script return value """) print f # script return value f.hello() def repeat(x): return x*2 cx.bind_callable("repeat", repeat) print cx.eval_script(""" var r = ["foo", {"bar": 2.3, "spam": [1,2,3]}]; repeat(r); """) John
